Why Bensalem homes are different
Bensalem: Diverse Lower Bucks County Housing
Bensalem’s housing stock spans post-war cape cods, mid-century colonials, 1980s–1990s developments, and newer townhome communities — each with distinct inspection priorities.
| ⚛Post-War & Mid-Century HomesDominant housing type dates to the 1950s–1970s. These frequently have aging electrical panels (FPE, Zinsco), galvanized plumbing, and HVAC systems nearing end of life. | ⚡Electrical Panel ConcernsFederal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels are common in 1960s–1970s Bensalem homes. Both have documented safety and insurance concerns. | ☢Radon Zone 1Bucks County is EPA Zone 1. Radon testing is essential for every Bensalem purchase. |
| 🏗Newer ConstructionBensalem has newer townhome and single-family communities. Pre-close inspections protect buyers. | 📷Aging Sewer LateralsOlder properties have aging clay and cast iron sewer laterals prone to root intrusion. A camera scope is recommended. | 🐞Termite & WDI RiskBucks County’s climate and older wood-framed homes create favorable conditions for termites. Required by most lenders. |
Many Bensalem homes built in the 1960s and 1970s have Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco electrical panels. These brands have well-documented histories of breaker failure. Many insurance companies will not insure homes with these panels or charge significantly higher premiums. Our inspector Mike Baltrush — former Building Inspector and Code Enforcement Officer for Bensalem Township — brings unmatched local expertise to every Bensalem inspection.
